design to share

A community with a purpose!


Each community must have a purpose that matters to the people each of us are trying to reach. 


We cannot "create" the purpose,
 we need to look for it and RECOGNIZE it.

Look for what people care about and build a community around it.

community = content



 Communities are about people
The content has to be about the community.

Do not focus on yourself or your "organization/group"
make sure you write about community members 

Figure out what resources you have and who you want to reach


Relationships & acknowledgment


Build personal relationships with most engaged active "visible" people/members

 If you want to have real authority, you must be liked by the people who your community respects. 

God, two-way, relationships with the most engaged active "visible" people/members

RELATIONSHIPS & ACKNOWLEDGMENT


must!

Recognise individual contributions
Each of us love to be recognised 
&
 each of us should love to recognise people
 
Recognition is free to give and the most important way to encourage further contributions

sustain debates


Good debates are vital for successful communities

Do not get scared:
sustain conversation on topics of controversy 

share powers


Share control and power with your community members
Hand over control and power 
(let people managing  take responsibility and risks)

turn involvement in ownership

the powerful us
it's mine as much is yours = our!

technology 


The right platform is the one your community know

Use  tool/platform your community is familiar with

Don’t run after the last wonderful innovation just because it shine

 Technology is about empowering people
